Failover does not work

in the same data center where we have pfSense devices, I created a VPS for this purpose and also log GW(s) monitor PINGs on it
Yes, that is a very good solution since those resources are available to you. I wish I could do the same.
My "data center" is a tiny closet with very low cost switches and a few home-brew servers from leftover systems. That's just my situation and having to make the most out of it. Therefore, if it works that's what I use. I have had cases when 8.8.8.8 would not respond to ping for brief moments or had increased delay, but the simple solution to that is making minor adjustments to packet loss/ delay threshold values. I'm not using external DNS currently for monitoring, but I can say that it worked fine for the purpose of my failover setup with minor tuning when I was using it. Let's just call it the poor man's monitoring solution :) -

I understand
I am lucky, -enough to work as a freelance "IT guy" for companies that entrust me with their supervision, of course then I also "run" my own things as these things are entrusted to me
so at their expense, I also get private resources...
I think this is called "symbiosis" in biology, hihihihi - I hope soin my reading this is the monitoring solution
